Zusammenfassung
Introduction: Adenosine has been reported to participate in maintaining glucose homeostasis. Adenosine A1 receptor (A1AR) deficient mice present with a disturbed glucose tolerance and insulin resistance. Aim of this present study was to investigate the secretory insulin function in A1AR deficient mice. Methods: Experiments were performed in male C57Bl/6 mice of the Adenosine 1A Receptor strain generated previously in our lab. Mice received standard chow. Chemicals were injected intraperitoneally. Blood was sampled by tail vein puncture. Glucose was measured by glucometer. Insulin by ELISA. Impaired glucose toler…
